Princess Parrot

Parrot · 0 live listings

Princess parrots are long-tailed pastel parrots from the arid interior of Australia, named for Princess Alexandra. They are gentle and relatively quiet, but their tails need room, so they suit keepers with an aviary or a very long flight cage.

The tradeoffs, honestly

A princess parrot needs a long flight cage or aviary to protect its tail. It is gentle but not a cuddly lap bird, and some learn only a few words.

Common questions

Is it legal to buy a princess parrot?

Yes, in the US, if it is captive-bred. Australia does not export native birds, so all US birds come from captive lines. Ask for a closed leg band and breeding records.

What health checks should a princess parrot come with?

Ask for an avian vet exam and tests for psittacosis and PBFD. Look for a clean vent, full feathering and a bird that is fully weaned.

How much space does a princess parrot need?

Much more than its body size suggests. The long tail needs a cage or aviary long enough to fly without damage.
